Just saw a commercial for a new brand of Turtle wax, and in the commercial it claims to be better than Mcguires. Has anyone tried it???

Interesting, is Meguiar's like the "measuring stick" for car waxes. I see alot of products being compaired to them. I do use Turtle Wax car wash, but I use the Meguiar's for wax and detail. That "Hot Shot" tire dressing is some crazy stuff, no comparison to that stuff.

Yep, I like it. I use the Platinum paste wax and spray detailer. It's similar to NXT, but lasts longer.

I use the detailer spray on top of the Meguair's because it adds depth to the shine and repels dust much better.

Have to agree with BW1. I used the Platinum which looked great and lasted well. Tried switching to NXT since I figured it would be easier to apply. It was and it looked good, but it didn't last like the Platinum.

Seriously... NXT is a fine product, but it cooks off quickly in the sun.

That's what I started using (Turtle wax platinum with spray detailer) and really like it. Wax the car and then next time I need to clean the car I just use the detailer. Works great and it's fast so I can get to driving. And you're right it does seem to last quite a while.
